The Trek madone looks like a xmas bauble.

[escamunicha]

Wow Pogacar just needs to go rim brake and he can go down to 6.8kg.😂

[MGRSD]

I just spent 9k, and my bike is still slightly over 8kg. It is a Madone SLR, so at least it's aero, but still... I don't wanna know what it'll cost to make an aero bike under 7kg...

Mads bike paint job is not custom. It is a new Project 1 option. Trek started doing the metallic last year. I am a Trek employee and have known of both long before the Tour

[SecwetGwiwer]

It’s crazy that Pogacar’s bike still weighs over 7.1 kilos.

😅 “The bar has had a small hole cut into it.” 💥

[rob-c.]

Quinn Simmons mirrored silver Trek is incredible - blows Mads’ out of the water for me

[thatguy]

The MASSES DON'T WANT more nimble carbon bikes with tiny top tubes, we want one bike to do it all at over ALL road, You!!

[SecwetGwiwer]

Ewan has always run a high but long cockpit set up. He gets low by bending his elbows.

[obiseankenobi]

and every anesthesiologist on the planet just ordered carbon ti disc rotors ;)

[jackspeer]

Pogacar did drop a chain and it spoiled his stage.

[paulshev]

Wet tyres are nothing new. Vittoria Corsa had a wet tyre 10 years ago.

[GrotrianSeiler]

Could people please stop saying deep dive? Is just sounds so dumb.

[devinmorrison]

Finally people are realizing weight is still far more important than aero! Pros had enough of the heavy aero bikes.

[Tarmaccyclocross]

I feel sorry for the pro’s having to ride all this crap so that the manufacturers can sell it to the all the gear no idea mob

[Tarmaccyclocross]

Do you mean gimmicks to make money out of the gullible

[brockjennings]

The best weight savings protocol is a healthy post black coffee and bran muffin BM before a ride.

[hallockstuart]

How does Carbon Ti lead to chain drops?

[rodneybracken]

All your talk about saving grams is rubbish, most pro bikes are over the minimum weight By 100 to 300g

[briseboy]

Please 'splain why stiff carbon ti rings cause increased dropping of chain...
